A BUDDING supermodel hopes to impress judges so she can win a trip to Africa.

Shiquerra Mckie, 16, of Old Pound Close, Isleworth, hopes to scoop the title of Miss Teen Queen UK.

The Brentford and Isleworth school girl has already reaches the semi finals but needs text votes to get her through to the final.

Her mother Lorraine, a nursery nurse said: "Shiquerra's a very dedicated gymnast, she never misses training and she's won cheerleading medals. She's quite bubbly and as she has done more and more dancing her confidence has grown. She is very ambitious and wants to be a dancer."

Shiquerra, who was talent spotted when dancing, is currently completing her GCSES and hopes to study dance at Richmond College next year.
